Data EORI is an independent information resource dedicated to helping businesses and individuals understand the EORI (Economic Operators Registration and Identification) system used throughout the European Union and United Kingdom for customs purposes.
Our mission is to provide clear, accurate, and accessible information about EORI numbers, their formats, validation, and the application process. We believe that understanding customs identification requirements should be straightforward, not complicated by bureaucratic jargon or scattered across dozens of government websites.
Data EORI provides comprehensive resources for anyone working with EORI numbers in international trade. Our content is designed to be practical and immediately useful.
We maintain detailed format specifications for all 27 EU member states plus the United Kingdom. This includes the structure, length, and composition of EORI numbers from each country, helping you quickly identify and validate numbers from trading partners.
Our country guides provide in-depth information about EORI registration in major trading nations including Germany, France, Spain, the Netherlands, Italy, and the UK. We cover processing times, required documents, and direct links to official application portals.
We explain the EORI application process step by step, from determining if you need an EORI number to gathering required documents and submitting your application through official channels.
The UK's departure from the EU created new complexities around EORI numbers. We explain the differences between GB EORI, XI EORI, and EU EORI numbers, helping businesses understand which numbers they need for different trade scenarios.
Data EORI is an independent website. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any government customs authority, the European Commission, HMRC, or any other official body. Our information is compiled from public sources and official documentation to help users understand the EORI system.
This independence means we can provide objective information without promoting any particular country's system or any commercial customs services. We aim to present facts clearly and direct users to official sources for actual validation and registration.
Data EORI is funded through advertising, specifically Google AdSense. This allows us to provide all our content free of charge. We do not charge for access to any information, and we do not sell EORI registration services or act as intermediaries.
